The interesting aspect of Chris Del Conte's endorsement of Tom Herman is the press release never states he'll be the coach in 2021. Seems to be a lot of wiggle room.

So if the AD was committed to Tom Herman he would have said that he had two years left on his contract and will be the head coach for 2021 …
Relax! 🤘

Looking at Texas AD Chris Del Conte's "statement" about Tom Herman — and watching some in the media make wild assumptions about it — I recall the Ben Bradlee line from All The President's Men:
"What the hell was that? A non-denial denial?" #HookEm

Remarkably non-committed statement. “Tom Herman is our football coach. Also, that season was terrible.” https://t.co/ZucvB3MaLd

He’s our coach…..until when? After your 2021 recruits sign their LOI? https://t.co/NMAN2kJviY

Chris Del Conte offers the most ambiguous, lukewarm endorsement in history when he says Tom Herman will be back in 2021.

Chris Del Conte is showing his Jerry Jones vibes.

Chris Del Conte just poured more gas on the flaming-hot fire, rather than putting it out
